statement

In my paintings, I explore the intersection between painting and mediated imagery. Commingling abstraction and representation I approach my works through a series of filtration systems: perceptual, process driven, and painterly. Using scanners, projectors, and other digital tools, I manipulate found landscape photography as reference points for my paintings.Condensing the photographic affect and the painterly sensation into one impenetrable surface, I create an image that is recognizable but also removed, thus, challenging the viewer to question the nature of visual appearances.
